01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Lighting up past 19:00 once the surrounding neighborhood begins to quiet down, Marukatsu Ramen caters exclusively to the late hours until 24:00. It is a dependable stop after work or on the trek back home, ideal for an unpretentious bowl of noodles or a substantial hot dinner.
Nostalgic Broth and Satisfying Noodles
The signature ramen pairs an easy-drinking texture with the deep, comforting savor of a meat-rich broth, evoking a distinct Showa-era charm. Straight noodles with a pleasing bite come topped with thick slices of chashu pork, while a dusting of black pepper provides a fragrant, appetizing lift. Diners can tailor their orders to their appetite, choosing the meat-heavy chashumen for a hungrier night or half a portion of noodles when craving something lighter.
From Drinking Snacks to Hearty Set Meals
Beyond standalone ramen, the menu features a wide selection of teishoku sets and side plates. The Marukatsu Teishoku, which bundles fried chicken, ramen, rice, and a daily chef's choice side dish, remains a favorite for anyone seeking a generous meal. Bowls of oden simmered in dashi—loaded with daikon radish, thick fried tofu, and boiled egg—and a stir-fry of vegetables, pork, and shiitake mushrooms also provide satisfying accompaniments to linger over with a cold beer.
Centered around counter seating, the shop has a quiet, relaxed atmosphere where solo guests can drop in with ease. Payment is cash only, so having coins or bank notes on hand will keep checkout effortless.
